NEW ORLEANS Fancy Pants Hotel & Breakfast!

[@onlychimerically]

she's so cute. love this couple

[@thirsty_cobra]

I stayed at Hotel Monteleone with my daughters about 6 months ago. We absolutely loved it!!

[@billandlisa]

Loved our stay there too.

[@doubtingthomas9612]

Jet-setting couple!

[@jeffreycharles5035]

So many great places in one video!

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Jeffrey! Part 2 dropping this Sunday!

[@heavylover7944]

I am so happy y’all went in the back alley of café du monde. It’s wild to watch them throwing the beignets in that giant fryer. Over 4 generations of my family has eaten there ❤️

[@clubmogambo3214]

Café Du Monde post covid doesn't appear quite as popular as it once was. That was back when lines would back up almost a full block from the entrance. One trick we learned back then was locating the other French Quarter Café Du Monde just inside the Riverwalk Mall. Same great beignets & cafe au lait, etc, but minus the massive crowds.

[@s.jensen1492]

I always like your New Orleans Vlogs! So many delicious foods And Drinks !! Thanks Bill and Lisa for taking us along !

[@billandlisa]

More to come, S! You won't want to miss the next episode. =)

[@jeanmariereed1646]

You both are the absolute best! This is amazing -- you are traveling every week it seems. It was so fun seeing New Orleans through your eyes! Super interesting and everything looks delicious!! Have fun and safe travels to you!

[@billandlisa]

Thank you so much!

[@TinaMarieDiaries]

I love love love Nola! So glad you guys made it back. I’m planning a trip soon. This makes me happy. Ty 😊

[@billandlisa]

You're very welcome, Tina!

[@mikesmiles1158]

perfect is being where our time collides while happy, thank you Bill and Lisa

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Mike!

[@GhostKilo36]

You guys are travelling in style....I guar--an--tee...who---eee! The infamous Cafe Du-Monde & beignets.

[@bobabiz]

Aww thanks for the anniversary shoutout! 🎉🎉 Have a wonderful trip!! 😊

[@billandlisa]

You're so welcome! Thank you!

[@BillSchafer48]

You two look so at home when you visit New Orleans. And sooo happy. Makes my heart feel good just watching your adventures. Other Bill

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Bill! We've been coming here for years and we still love it!

[@danielpuckett7792]

Thank you, David & Lisa! I like the way you do your tours. I need to get back to NOLA; it has been a long time since I have been there.

[@grottorabbit]

Love the embroidered robes and pillows at a time when most hotels are afraid to put their name on anything, let alone embroider it! One misplaced sneeze with those beignets and you're reenacting scenes from _Cocaine Bear!_ The eggs Benedict looked delicious and a great wine reduction can add so much good richness to any dish! Love the Bucee's Court Jester shirt too!🤣

[@billandlisa]

Cocaine Bear.. lol. Yeah, I watched it. Thanks for watching!

[@Kathryn7]

Thanks so much for this! We are staying at the Monteleone for a week for our first trip to New Orleans at the end of December. So excited to be there for New Years Eve!

[@billandlisa]

Very nice! You're going to have a great time! Stay tuned for part 2!

[@minglewiththecringles]

You guys just made me laugh so hard! "Party Hard? What do u mean party hard?" 😂😂😂 So cute!

[@celiamichelle5462]

Food starts at 5:59 lovely people! 😃

[@aliawhite1757]

The people in the background of Brennans are hysterical 😂 So happy you are back in NOLA, fantastic video as usual ❤

[@clubmogambo3214]

One thing I've always liked about Brennan's is they are one of the few remaining restaurants in N.O. that actually use real turtle meat in their turtle soup. So many other places have long substituted some other meat like veal. Not Brennan's. They remain authentic.

[@michaelm.1807]

Turtle Soup???? I guess that we're not as refined. 😊 🙂😃😀😄😁😎👋🤞✌️👌🤙👍☝️👏🙏

[@clubmogambo3214]

@@michaelm.1807 You should try it, you'd be surprised how tasty it is.

[@lorifreeman1746]

What a beautiful hotel and beautiful meal that banana Foster looked amazing ❤

[@neilmccarrick2777]

Thanks!

[@billandlisa]

Thank you so much, Neil!! We appreciate the Super Thanks and supporting our channel.

[@susanburnett6123]

I stayed there for a state meeting. My daughter came down and we had a special drink at the rotating bar. It holds some good memories. We loved eating at the Acme seafood place right down the street.

[@billandlisa]

It's a fun bar for sure. We missed having drink here this trip, next time!

[@jackiehoward7300]

Bill and Lisa. I love watching your videos. I think you are such sweet people. You all’s videos make me feeling like I’m right there with you. Have a beautiful holiday season

[@billandlisa]

Thank you so much, Jackie! Have a great Holiday season as well.

[@KathleenJWebster]

Can't wait for part two!!

[@debbellable]

The food looks delicious, it my mouth watered. Thanks for the video.

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for watching!

[@Beverly-qd9rd]

Absolutely thankful for you guys! I’m in the hospital for the 9th day now and your videos help me travel beyond my r. TY!

[@billandlisa]

You're so welcome, Beverly! Hope you're feeling better and wish you a speedy recovery.

[@eatingwithamybham]

Just spent a magical Halloween in New Orleans. We dined at Galitoire’s, Lil Dizzy’s, Dat Dog, Dooky Chase, Muriel’s, Parkway & Commander’s Palace. All unforgettable meals. Highly recommend checking out The Windsor Court Hotel. It’s our favorite place to stay.

[@billandlisa]

Wow! Great list of eateries! Well down! Thanks for the rec.

[@Caman-h1w]

So happy to see you back in New Orleans. It’s everything you said it is. I don’t think there’s any bad food anywhere. Looking forward to your next vlog.

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Roy! Stay tuned for Part 2.

[@JimmyVYouTube]

laissez le bon temps rouler!!!! and Good Morning Bill and Lisa

[@billandlisa]

Good evening, Jimmy!

[@lisamoore107]

New Orleans is a fun place. Been quite some time since we’ve been there. My hubby is from Northern Louisiana and it’s such a nice change of pace from So Cal. I believe the brand of coffee a lot of people and restaurants use is the Community brand. The coffee beans are roasted with chicory.

[@vegasvan2000]

World Market in LA sells the Cafe Du Monde brand coffee & beignet mix

[@billandlisa]

@Lisa We love Community! We sometimes order the K-Cups for home.

[@msavp4481]

Yayyy! New Orleans! I’m so happy you made it back there!🎉 It’s certainly on my bucket list! Loved the food so far…can’t wait for the next video! Laissez le bon temps rouler!

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Sue! Stay tuned for the next one!

[@paxpax23]

I LOVE it, carousel bar i love the vibe, ENJOY!!!!!

[@michellel3596]

I could literally watch your vlogs everyday! You entertain, you explain and you always have a positive attitude!! I've never been to NOLA, but it looks like a lot of fun and delicious :-) Thanks as always for the great content!

[@billandlisa]

Appreciate the nice words, Michelle. Thanks so much for watching!

[@Koicee8]

I pronounce it “pray-lean”. Great video as usual guys!

[@ashleybreckheimer1387]

Wow, Bill's breakfast looked to die for ❤😋 !! YUMMMMMMMM

[@thejerk95]

Brennan’s for breakfast is always worth a try in N.O.

[@sweetpea8091]

Great video Bill and Lisa. Thank you for our Anniversary shout out..♥️

[@billandlisa]

Our pleasure! Thanks so much for watching!

[@jolenemudra4971]

I remember chickory grew by the roadside in Michigan where my sister lives. It's a blue flower. I don't know what part they use for the coffee.

[@JanetBrown-px2jn]

The roots of chickory are used in the coffee,I grew up in England in the 1950’s and that was what we drank as coffee,I think perhaps coffee,was to expensive for my mom to buy,I remember it was Camp Coffee.

[@Angela32117]

Beignets, eggs and banana’s foster- yum!

[@JamesPidkowa]

I loved it once again thank you so much for the amazing food adventure

[@billandlisa]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rumplstilskin2000]

Loved the vlog.. Cafe Du Monde beignets are awesome!! There is a Cafe in the back of Musical legends park on Bourbon Street that has good beignets too..

[@billandlisa]

That's Cafe Beignet, good stuff!

[@celiadileone2841]

Loved cafe du monde and Brennans. The bananas foster is so good! Looking forward to the next vlog

[@billandlisa]

Agreed! So good!

[@AussieAngeS]

Hi Bill and Lisa, New Orleans looks so nice, I love the history of cafe du mondo and I could watch the, make beignets all day, those look delicious. Love the hotel you both were staying and the food at that restaurant was top notch

[@billandlisa]

Glad you enjoyed it, Angie! The beignets we had were A+++!! Stay tuned for one more New Orleans vlog.

[@marciasanguinetti3900]

That hollandaise sauce looked INcredible - the way it was beautifully dappled over the poached eggs, and the lightness in color as well as fluffiness was a sight to behold. Was it as wonderful tasting as it looked ? CHEERS !

[@billandlisa]

Delicious!

[@JoshRachael]

Glad to see you guys made it to Brennan's - we really liked it. We did not like Cafe Du Monde our first time, but it was during COVID and they were doing some weird serving in bags and it was not a good move for the product - on our second trip it was much better, glad to see it was better this time around for you guys as well...Now I want some NOLA

[@billandlisa]

Yes, Cafe Du Monde can be a hit or miss, depends who's on fry duty that day. Thanks for watching, guys.

[@cathyshuler8149]

It’s so fun seeing you enjoy Cafe du Monde! We love their coffee but it’s almost impossible to find the decaf version at the grocery store so I order it directly from them. They are always so nice!

[@debbienishiki7976]

Awesome video of New Orleans!! We're going there in May 2024. Enjoy life Bill and Lisa...

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Debbie! You're going to love it!

[@harveyh3696]

10:51 I like to pause on menus and when I see something interesting, I have to check it out. The Tender Green Salad listed Leidenheimer Crisps as a component. Found that Leidenheimer is a long-established bakery in the city and presenting it in that way makes it sound much better than just saying 'croutons'. Wonder if that loaf of bread on your table came from that bakery. Luv your videos.

[@billandlisa]

Not sure, but Leidenheimer does supply a lot of poboy shops.

[@larrykarenflowers9371]

Food looked so good. Never been to NO but looks interesting. Thanx for the video. Safe travels.

The Hotel Monteleone has been on my list to try for years. Our last couple of stays have been at Le Pavillion. I think you two would enjoy that hotel as well, they serve nightly PB&J for the hotel quests. Cant wait to see what else you did while in Nola!

[@anatoliagolden-hall4553]

NOLA is a place that is cherished for good reasons. The food is to die for, and the culture is so steeped in culinary influences. Posh hotel, as well. Well done! Pool is gorgeous, as well. After going to bed after 1 AM on your first night, what time did you get up the following morning? You guys seems to live on not much sleep.

[@billandlisa]

Around 6:30am? Felt rested, so we out to explore! lol

[@clubmogambo3214]

I understand you've done previous reviews of New Orleans, but this is the first one I've seen. Nawlins is our adopted home town. It's truly one of our very favorite cities to visit, if not outright favorite. We generally stay at the Four Points Sheraton, mainly because it's literally smack dab in the heart of the French Quarter.

[@danielcampos1049]

Have you ever been to Morning Call in City Park for beignets? They're a little lighter, borderline sopapilla but I think I like it a hair more than Cafe du Monde. I say that as a former loyalist. Also the iced cafe Au lait Morning Call is the perfect coffee.

[@billandlisa]

Haven't been, thanks for the rec.

[@MelissaMounts]

Hi Bill and Lisa I hope you’re having a wonderful day 😊

i'm hoping a purple drink is in coming!! The food looked delicious!!

[@billandlisa]

It will! 🥳

[@yvonneacosta2539]

Love New Orleans! Never been there but want to go. Had a reservation for dinner at Brennan's the night before my cruise in 2005 but ended up cancelling due to some hurricane called Katrina. We ended up going out via Galveston. Will make it there some day as I too want to try the Bananas Foster where it was created. First tried it in Las Vegas at the buffet at Caesars back in the 1990s. The buffet was where Bobby Flay's Amalfi is located, years before Bacchanal. Didn't know Brennan's served breakfast too. Looks so good. I pronounce pralines "pray leens" but "prah leens" sounds fancier, or fancy pants to go with the video.😂 Can't wait to see part 2 and that purple drink! It's not a Bill and Lisa video of New Orleans without it.

[@billandlisa]

You’re going to love New Orleans, Yvonne! Especially all the food. 😋. Didn’t know about the original Caesars buffet, bet the prices were a lot cheaper than the current buffet cost.

[@billandlisa]

Part 2 coming! 🥳🥳🥳

[@billandlisa]

Oh yes! Now you're talking!

[@Christine_1075]

I was just going to say that hotel was featured in Girls Trip❤

[@billandlisa]

Yup! lol

[@AlusW.]

You got lucky, the last couple of times we were there, the beignets were raw dough inside and inedible.

[@billandlisa]

That was kind of our last experience. Thankfully, these were fried perfectly.

[@irishgip71]

Use to live in Tampa before the military. Wasn’t far from Y-Bor city. They say it’s similar to orleans. We haven’t been in New Orleans. Have you been to Y-Bor? You’d have a blast.

[@billandlisa]

Haven't been, sounds interesting.
